直到現(xiàn)在,我一直在鼓勵(lì)你去探索,因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得如果你想變得更有創(chuàng)造力并想要過(guò)一種安靜的生活,這是很有必要的。不知你是否注意到,與探索有關(guān)的內(nèi)容占據(jù)了名人所分享的大部分。
Things I’ve Asked You to Explore
我曾經(jīng)讓你探索的事情
So far, I’ve asked you to:
到目前為止,我曾經(jīng)要求你去做:
get curious and ask lots of questions
保持好奇心,并問(wèn)很多問(wèn)題
collect your thoughts and examine them
收集你的想法并檢驗(yàn)他們
do something daily (the practice of practicing)
做一些日常事務(wù)(有實(shí)踐的習(xí)慣)
feed your muse a steady diet of tasty art, music, books, and new ideas
進(jìn)入對(duì)藝術(shù)、音樂(lè)、書(shū)籍和新創(chuàng)意的冥想
get honest with yourself and be authentic
要真實(shí),并忠實(shí)于己
But What Are You to Make of All This?
但如何才能做到這些?
And you’ve been kind enough to follow along. But now, you may be wondering when all this exploring is going to lead somewhere. What can you make of it? After all, creative people make things, don’t they?
你能做到以上這些已是難能可貴。但是現(xiàn)在,你也許會(huì)想知道探索這一切能有何回報(bào)。你可以利用它嗎?畢竟有創(chuàng)造力的人能成事,不是嗎?
這是事實(shí)。探索是至關(guān)重要的、關(guān)鍵的、令人興奮和有趣的,但是如果你不接受你的想法也不加以運(yùn)用,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一切都是徒勞。
Yes, creative people make things, and that’s what this chapter’s about.
是的,有創(chuàng)造力的人能夠成事,這就是本章所介紹的。
Finding Your Thing(s)
找到你的事情
Of course, there’s an infinite number of things you could choose to make, and that’s the point of exploring. You’re sifting through the possibilities, searching for the ones that catch your eye, grab your heart, and beg you to make them real.
當(dāng)然,你可以選擇去做無(wú)限多的事情,而這正是探索的關(guān)鍵。你要考慮其發(fā)展?jié)摿?,尋找能夠吸引你眼球,抓住你的心臟,并迫切想成為現(xiàn)實(shí)的想法。
But once you find them, you have to do something with them.
一旦你找到了就必須有所行動(dòng)。
“But oh,” you might say, “I don’t know how.”
你也許會(huì)說(shuō):“可我不知道該怎么做啊。”
And I would answer, “Of course you don’t. No one ever knows before they begin.”
我會(huì)告訴你:“你當(dāng)然不知道,從來(lái)沒(méi)有人知道才開(kāi)始。”
Getting Things StartedI haven’t the time or the knowledge to teach you how to make everything you’re going to make. No one does. It’s yours to discover.
開(kāi)始做事
我沒(méi)有時(shí)間,也沒(méi)有知識(shí)來(lái)教你做你要做的事情。沒(méi)有人能夠教你。因?yàn)樗悄愕陌l(fā)現(xiàn)。
Of course, you’ll want to learn everything you can about the things you choose to create.
當(dāng)然,你要了解一切與你所選擇相關(guān)的事情。
You’ll find people to talk to, books to read, videos to watch, and classes to take, but none of these things will completely prepare you for the act of creation. In the end, it’s still a learn-as-you-go process, so you have to go. You have to go make things. Your things.
你要發(fā)現(xiàn)傾訴對(duì)象、要讀的書(shū)、要看的視頻和要上的課程。但這一切不可能全都為你的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作準(zhǔn)備好。最終,它仍然是一個(gè)順其自然的過(guò)程,因而你必須去做。你必須去做事,你的事情。
Things We All Make
這是我們都會(huì)做的事情
But please don’t feel you’re all alone.
但是不要覺(jué)得孤獨(dú)
However unique your choices may be, you still have much in common with all the others who have chosen to take this journey, because in order to make anything, there are six things we all have to make.
盡管也許你的選擇是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的,你依然和那些有同樣選擇的人有相同之處,因?yàn)闉榱耸掠兴?,有六件事我們不得不做?b class="label bg2" jquery1318773806736="95">
Yes, creative people make things.
有創(chuàng)造力的人要做的事情。
1. They make decisions.
1、下定決心。
2. They make commitments.
2、作出承諾。
3. They make attempts.
3、努力嘗試。
4. They make mistakes.
4、勇于犯錯(cuò)。
5. They make adjustments.
5、做出調(diào)整。
6. They make meaning.
6、賦予其意義。
And these are the things we’ll be looking at throughout the rest of this chapter. Together, I think we can make it.
這些將是我們將在剩余章節(jié)所看到的??傊艺J(rèn)為我們可以做到。
